i'm obsessed.

he is incredible.

learning to drive.

oh no, not me. I am a pro. obviously. 

Caleb has been practicing his driving since he has been in New Zealand for the past month. 

this past week caleb and I have been trying to get some good sunset pictures. we drove down to the beach, but failed at getting a good picture. we were just a tad too late. 

On the way back home, which is only a two minute drive. I decided to be Caleb's own paparazzi. which he wasn't very excited about.

Then he got a little more into it. 

I decided to take on a different approach that didn't work the first time.

I tried again but caleb was getting a little sick of it.

(after this picture, I thought we were going to clip the side of a vehicle parked on the side of the road and yelled at him to watch out. but the yelling only freaked him out more. haha. we didn't hit the car. fyi.) apparently I really wanted this angle to work so I had to take one more picture.

We have a winner, folks! 

In all seriousness. Caleb is actually a really good driver. I'm sure I enjoyed our spontaneous photo session a lot more than he did.

star bright, star light.

I was coming home from a YSA family home evening sunday night. I looked up at the stars on my way inside and I was completely captivated by them. I came inside and did a few things, then decided to wrap up (it was 45 degrees outside! brrr.) and go sit out on the back deck for awhile. I took two of the deck chairs and sat in one and put my feet on the other. I was just in front of the railing so I could put my head back and had a perfect view of the stars. I had the perfect playlist going. I decided to share that with you.

While I was listening to these songs I saw an abundance of shooting stars. Some of them weren't very bright. There were two amazing shooting stars. One of them was SO bright It was breath-takingly beautiful. I wish I could've stayed out longer but I was getting a bit too cold. Even with two jackets and two blankets a pair of socks and slipper socks on. I wanted to do it again, but it is supposed to be rainy and cloudy this whole week. But there was an amazing rainbow out today. It was massive. I think it took up almost the whole sky. definitely could not fit it all into my camera.

I wish I knew how to make these pictures bigger without them being cut off on the blog. tips anyone?

this side of the rainbow was so bright and I was trying to capture it with my camera. Obviously the tree was in the way, but at least it made for a semi-cool picture.

There was an incredible sunset the other day as well. 

random picture of caleb. yes he does need a haircut.
